The Harris-Walz campaign recently unveiled its “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men,” to court Black men voters at a time when the Democrats are losing their support. “The agenda does not reflect the needs of the Black community,” says Lawrence Grandpre, Director of Research at Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle. Grandpre argues that this and the DNC’s other superficial attempts to win over Black voters will ultimately fail. “Given the conditions in our communities, it’s hard for working-class Black people to connect with what the Democratic Party is offering.”
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
